IMPROVEMENT IN WHIP-MOUNTING, m The Schedule referred tc in theseLetters Patent and making part of the same.

Tov all lwhom vit mwy concern:

Be it known that I, JAMns field, Hampden county, made certain new and uMounting; and I doh is a full and cleardescription thereof, r had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

In the drawings` Figure l is a View of th improved head-mounting.

Figure 2 is a view showing the parts of the mounting in detail.

My improvements relate whips, such as are ordinaril consist in formingthis he simple manner, greatl manufactured article.

Ordinarily, this mounting is formed of a is placed over the but-end ofythe Whip, projects and encircles the stock to a distance of about twoinches from the end. This cap is manufactured at considerable cost, asit has to be drawn out, or else and soldered together by a long and R.GILLETT, of West State of Massachusetts, have seful Improvements inWhipereby declare that the following e but-end of a whip with my to thehead-mounting of y used for carriages; and afl-mounting in a new 'and ycheapening the cost of the cap, which and the ange tedious process.

In my improvements or cap, A, which may be made in of any materialsuitable,

,however, I form a solid head various styles, and such as wood, horn,bone, or

eference being metal. This is slipped over the extreme end of the stock,and may be clinched there, if of metal, by dint ing the surface into thestock.

The ange of my head, I form of a taperedeylinder, B, and slip it overthe whip at the smaller end.

. vThe sleeve so formed is then sliddown to the butend of the stock,where the .lower portion ts over the ange of the cap, A, and remainstightly fixed.

By this means I obtain a very simple and neat headmounting, having theadvantages of cheapness and easy arrangement uponthe stock constructionof these heads them lit tightly over the b preserve their tapering forsmaller end of the cyli over the largest parto possible,

, for, in the ordinary solid ut of the whip, and still m, as, in thatcase, the der would hate to be forced the whip-stock, which is imwithoutmaking the head to iit loosely.

Now, having described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the arranged together, substan Shown, upon the but ofa ing the head-mounting cap, A, and sleeve B, when tially in the mannerherein whip, for the purpose of formthereof.
